tibia with tactile hair near extremity (shorter than that of tarsus), tactile hah' of 
tarsus about one-third removed from base. $ with galea poorly developed, hand 
somewhat narrower with less oblique height, coxae iv differing little from ?. L. 1-7. 
Among vegetable refuse: in cucumber frames, manure-heaps, etc.; widely 
distributed and common in Britain; probably also in Ireland, but not yet recorded; 
seizes flies and often comes to notice on their legs in autumn; a mysterious animal 
of which males are seldom seen. 
C. Godfreyi sp. nov. 
Palps and cephalothorax reddish-brown, abdominal tergites-olive-horny: glossy 
with nearly simple bristles. Cephalothorax weakly granulate at sides and over part 
of dorsum of thorax, dorsum of head non-granulate, second groove scarcely per¬ 
ceptible or absent: abdominal tergites non-granulate reticulate, scar-spots indistinct, 
main sclerites near inner margin with one bristle in front of row, tergite-sternite xi 
each with two pahs of tactile hairs, tergite with inner pah not greatly shorter than 
outer; galea (?) well developed, branching from short base, branches simple rather 
long; palps trochanter as in preceding species, tibia less strongly convex in front, 
hand with somewhat less oblique height, anterior margin of fingers with an isolated 
accessory tooth; the palp is granulate, at least in front, with small part of femur 
and great part of tibia and hand smooth; coxae iv short and broad, inner margin 
longer than posterior; legs iv tibia with tactile hah near extremity (as long or almost 
as long as that of the tarsus), tactile hah of tarsus further from base than hi preceding 
species; taking only dorsal margin about hi middle, d with galea poorly developed, 
hand somewhat narrower with less oblique height (?), coxae iv differing little from 
?. L. 1-6. 
Found in manure-heaps and moss.” 
The two species just described are closely allied; but the next was 
distinguished from C. nodosus by the naked eye when clinging to the 
fly, by its woolly appearance.

Palps and cephalothorax reddish-brown, abdominal tergites horny-brown; dull 
or nearly so, with clavate and toothed bristles. Cephalothorax granulate, both 
grooves distinct; abdominal tergites granulate with moderately long distinctly 
clavate bristles, scar-spots indistinct, interstitial membrane of dorsum wrinkled 
sternites with bristles simple or nearly so, tergite xi with one pair sternite xi with 
two pahs of tactile hairs; galea (?) well developed, staghorn-like, branching from 
broad short base, branches redividing; palps rather stout, tibia strongly convex 
in front, anterior margin of fingers with an isolated accessory tooth; the palp is 
granulate all round, including hand, fingers granulate, bristles of front femur 
moderately long, a little clavate; lower face of maxillae weakly granulate; coxae iv 
(?) short and broad, inner margin as long as or longer than posterior; legs iv tibia
